Visiting SCHEV

Visitors must report to our reception desk on the 9th floor and should have an appointment prior to arrival. This is for security purposes and to ensure that an appropriate staff member is available. To schedule an appointment, please call 804-225-2600. 

 New procedures for attending SCHEV meetings held in the James Monroe building:

• Sign in at the security desk on the first floor (across from the Virginia Credit Union). Picture IDs will be required.
• Anyone with a state-issued employee ID badge (including public institutions) may proceed to the 9th floor after signing in.
• Anyone without a state-issued employee ID badge must wait for a staff member from SCHEV to escort them to the 9th floor after signing in. Upon leaving, all visitors without a state-issued employee ID badge must be escorted out of the building by a SCHEV staff member and must sign out at the security desk. 

NOTE: Members of the public attending a meeting at SCHEV who do not have a state-issued employee ID badge should plan to arrive 20 minutes prior to the meeting and expect delays at the security desk. A SCHEV staff member will escort guests 10 minutes prior to the meeting. Anyone who arrives after the start of the meeting will need to remain at the security desk until a SCHEV staff member is available to escort them to the meeting.

Security desk hours are from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
